Hello, today we needed a card for the month of May’s Scrap The Boys Card Makers Challenge and the challenge was a fab mood board, that I have displayed below so you can play along too!

I love the colors and the stripes in this, so that is what I ran with….and I suppose the dog was a good substitute for the horse. 🙂

I used the Tim HoltzCrazy Dogs set along with the “Crazy Accessories” set for the hat stamp and balloon dies. I colored the images with alcohol markers and used the matching dies to cut them out. I cut balloons from Shimmer Sheetz by Elizabeth Craft Designs in the emerald and sapphire jewel tones. I stamped JOEY 4 onto the balloons with StazOn Ink and tied them to the bone with black thread.

The background was made by blending Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Twisted CitronDistress Oxide Inks. I spritzed it with water and dabbed dry to get the speckles. I cut it out using my all time favorite background die, the Your Next StampFunky Line Panel Die and just adhered the whole kit-n-kaboodle to the medium blue card base. I popped up the pup to give him a little more dimension.

The inside was stamped with the balloon from the previously mentioned set and I hand drew in the string that ties it to the sentiment from a Queen & Co gift box themed shaker card kit.

Happy Holidays, today I created a card using the free digis from Strawberry Jude Stamps. They are giving free Christmas themed digital stamps to their email subscribers. Also, join the fun over at Strawberry Jude’s Facebook Fan page you can access by clicking this Link and click to join! I also used their stamp set Tag It: Christmas.

I colored these adorable images with my alcohol markers and fussy cut them out. I used my Your Next StampFunky Line Panel die for the background, and I love how that turned out. I used three colors, one for the frame, one to represent the sand and the third to represent the night sky.

I popped the camel image up with foam tape after adhering the Bethlehem city onto the background. I added a gold star above the city image. I mounted this onto a dark blue piece of cardstock and then mounted the whole thing onto a white card base.

The inside was stamped with All Is Calm, All Is Bright from the aforementioned Strawberry Jude Stamp, and that was mounted onto a piece of kraft cardstock to tie it into the front panels.

I am entering this in the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #9 that you can access Here.
